*Cumulative return is the aggregate amount that an investment has gained or lost over time. Annualized Return is the average return gained or lost by an
investment each year over a given time period.
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value
of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.
ETF shares are not redeemable with the issuing fund other than in large Creation Unit aggregations. Instead, investors must buy or sell ETF Shares in the
secondary market with the assistance of a stockbroker. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when
buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is calculated each day the national securities exchanges are open for
trading as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the “NAV Calculation Time”). Shares are
bought and sold at market price not NAV. Closing price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm Eastern Time (when NAV is normally
determined).
An active secondary market for the Fund’s shares may not exist. Although the Fund’s shares will be listed on an exchange, subject to notice of issuance, it is
possible that an active trading market may not develop or be maintained. There is no guarantee that distributions will be paid.

About KraneShares:
KraneShares, a product of Krane Funds Advisors, is focused on serving global investors with ETFs for the next-wave of China’s
development. Founded in 2011, our New York based firm offers proprietary ETFs constructed to give US and global investors broad, diverse
and quality exposure to China’s historic growth story.
KWEB invests in variable-interest entities (VIEs), which are investments in foreign-domiciled American Depository Receipts (ADRs). Rather than owning Chinesedomiciled entities, the VIEs have contractual arrangements designed to provide the economic benefits related to certain Chinese-domiciled companies. The
structure of VIEs presents some unique risks that should be considered.
VIE structures do not give investors ownership in the operating company, as stock does. With a VIE, an investor has no direct claim on the core, restricted business
assets of the VIE operating company. As a result, investors may not exert as much influence over the subject company as they could if they were owners of common
stock. Often, the voting rights in the VIE operating company, especially in matters of corporate governance, are controlled by the principals who established the VIE
operating company.
In addition, there is no guarantee as to the enforceability of the VIE structure, as it has never received explicit approval from the Chinese government and is
recognized as a structure put in place principally to work around Chinese restrictions on foreign investment.

Carefully consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can
be found in the Funds’ prospectus, which may be obtained here: kraneshares.com/resources/kraneshares_kweb_prospectus_2014.pdf Read
the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. The Funds focus their
investments primarily with Chinese issuers and issuers with economic ties to China. The Funds are subject to political, social or economic instability within China
which may cause decline in value. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values. Emerging markets involve
heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increase volatility and lower trading volume. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.
Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Internet companies are subject to rapid changes in technology, worldwide competition, rapid
obsolescence of products and services, loss of patent protections, evolving industry standards and frequent new product productions. Such changes may have an
adverse impact on performance.
The KraneShares ETFs are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Company, which is not affiliated with Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, the Investment Adviser for
the Fund.
